Exploring the intersection of time, memory, and culture, this volume presents essays that challenge conventional narratives of progress through the lens of Black Quantum Futurism. Contributors from the African diaspora share insights on alternative temporal frameworks shaped by ancestral practices and cultural technologies. The collection emphasizes communal and personal experiences of time, offering unique perspectives on how these communities navigate and redefine their temporal realities. Notable contributors include Michelle M. Wright, Joy KMT, and Rasheedah Phillips, among others.

On the brink of the 100 year anniversary of the Red Summer of 1919 and the Solar Eclipse of 1919 that would confirm the theory of relativity, an anthropologist seeking to dig up her own family roots becomes entangled in a web of retrocurence that touches upon all of these events. She will discover, in turn, how each of these events have not only shaped the curve of her own family tree, but how they have shifted the very fabric of space-time.

Exploring the intersection of quantum physics, futurist traditions, and Black cultural consciousness, this book presents Black Quantum Futurism (BQF) as a transformative method for navigating reality and shaping the future. It emphasizes the ability of African-descended individuals to manipulate space-time, envision potential futures, and manifest desired outcomes. Contributions from various thought leaders provide insights into this innovative framework, highlighting the creative potential that arises when these diverse traditions converge.
